What a beutiful experience for you and them. I am curious about their hair. The men and women have different styles and I wonder what they signify. Also, it appears the women use wax(?) to keep their hair the way it is? It is very neat!

Excellent questions my dear. The women do all of this because they they find it beautiful, why the men don’t dress up, well I don’t know, I guess they don’t have any Himba metro-sexuals. As far as what they do they coat themselves in a mixture of butter/fat/ochre on their skin and hair.
